**Āyācitabhatta Jātaka** (No. 19).—Once the squire of a certain village, in the **Kāsi** country, promised the deity of a banyan tree a sacrifice should his enterprise succeed. When he came back from his journey he slew a number of creatures and took them to the tree. The deity of the tree appeared and admonished the squire, saying that no one could attain deliverance by means of slaughter.
